1 Claim. (Cl. 304-24) This invention relates to improvements in window seats and has for one of its objects to provide a portable seat of simple and practical construction which may be easily and quickly fas- 5 toned to window sills of different dimensions and adjusted to ahorizontal position relative thereto.

The above and'other objects will appear more clearly from the following detailed description, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, which illustrates a-preferred embodiment of the inventive idea.

In the drawing Figure l is a perspective View of the seat constructed in accordance with the invention;

Figure 2 is a transverse sectional view thereoi;

' flange 6 the same is provided with an opening 9 in which is slidably mounted a clamping member 10 in the form of a strip, the outer end .11 of which is bent laterally and provided with a liner 12 of soft material which is adapted to engage the inner edge of a window sill, as shown in Fig ure 2, the liner engaging the sill and preventing the same from becoming scratched or ma'rred.-

The inner end of the clamping member 10 receives the screw-threads of an adjusting rod 13 3 which extends from said member through the outer flange '7 where it is provided with a wing-.

' reduced at their inner ends, as indicated at 15,

so as to accommodate the usual weather stripping 16 secured to the sill.'

Means are provided for adjusting the seat 5 to a horizontal position relative to the sill and for this purpose the outerwidened end of each of the side flanges 8 is provided with a longitudinally extending slot 17 along which is adjustable a bearingrblock l8,'the lower portion of which'is provided with a guide 19 having a groove for receiving the lower edge of the flange 8. The block 19 is provided on the inner surface thereof which abuts against the flange 8 with a screw-threaded opening 20 in registry with the slot 17 and adapted to receive the screw member 21 extending through said slot from the inner side of. said flange 8. When the block 18 has been adjusted to the desired position relative .tothe side flange 8 the screw 21 is tightened to fix said block in said position.

Each block 18 carries a vertically adjustable supporting member in the form of a screw 22 threaded through said block in parallel relation to the flange 8 and provided at its lower end with a base 23 in the form of a disk which is adapted to engage and rest upon the outer portion of the window sill. The upper end of the screw member 22 is provided with a milled head 24'which may be turned to raise or lower the seat 5 until the same assumes a horizontal position, this adjustment being necessary due to the inclination of different sillsto which the seat'may be attached.

What is claimed is:

horizontal position.
